One man is said to have later returned to the scene and was arrested on suspicion of driving without a licence, insurance and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.

The crash blocked the tram tracks through the area, halting blue and purple route services beyond Sheffield Station.

Supertram suspended all purple route services until the incident was cleared. Tram services have now fully resumed.
